Mercury Goes Direct

When I heard a WNYC news reader say someone was "not reason by guilty of insanity," I hoped it was the final effect of the phenomenon known as Mercury in Retrograde for the time being. Here is how Larry Schwimmer describes it in Huffington Post.

The late Pepsi Charles was a true believer in this astrological event that could upset all forms of communication. Here is one example from 2008.

I mentioned it again in 2010. It comes up in cycles and anyone interested can look up when it will occur.

Communication and other activities ruled by Mercury should improve now that the period is over. It is just in time for the City Council to resume its schedule with an agenda-fixing session on Monday and a regular meeting on Aug. 20. Maybe we can get some solid information on topics of interest, such as what's going on with downtown redevelopment. Two of developer Frank Cretella's projects are nearly complete, while five others have approvals. Meanwile, Cretella has finally acquired some North Avenue properties for rehabilitation. In 2006, the focus was on the North Avenue Historic District by the main train station before it shifted to the PNC Bank block. It would be nice to get an update on all the projects.
